LABOUR STATISTICS

2013

FOREWORD

This is the twentieth issue of the Digest of Labour Statistics, an annual publication of Statistics Mauritius. This digest brings together data relating to labour force, employment and unemployment for the Republic of Mauritius for the year 2013.

Statistics are also presented for the Export Oriented Enterprises (EOE), which consist of all those

enterprises previously operating with an EPZ certificate and those enterprises manufacturing goods for export and holding a registration certificate issued by the Board of Investment. It should be noted that EOE was operational as from October 2006.

Chapter 1 presents estimates for year 2013 based on the results of the Continuous Multi-Purpose

Household Survey (CMPHS). Comparative data for previous years are also given. The chapter also presents estimates of labour force including foreign workers derived after integrating data from the CMPHS together with data from other sources.

Data from the March 2013 Survey of Employment and Earnings showing the level of

employment and earnings in large establishments are given in chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents the results of the quarterly Survey of Employment, Earnings and Hours of

work carried out in 2013. It covers occupational wage rates and average hours of work in different sectors of the economy as well as wage rate indices with fourth quarter 2011 as base period.

It is to be noted that the reference period as well as the coverage of the various surveys are not

the same. Explanatory notes are given at the beginning of each chapter while copies of the questionnaires for the March and quarterly surveys of employment and earnings appear at the Appendix.

It is hoped that the statistics published in this report will be helpful to the public in general and to

planners and policy makers in particular. The cooperation of all organisations, both public and private, which have provided information

for the preparation of this publication is gratefully acknowledged. L.F Cheung Kai Suet (Ms.)

REVISION OF CLASSIFICATIONS In 2012, Statistics Mauritius adopted a revised version of the national industrial classification of economic activities, an adapted version of the International Industrial Classification of Economic Activities (ISIC), Rev 4 of the United Nations. Prior to 2012, the national classification based on ISIC Rev 3 was used. The classification of employment by industrial group, but not the overall estimate, is affected. The changes in the classification of the industrial sectors from NSIC Rev 1 to NSIC Rev 2 are presented overleaf. Statistics Mauritius has also adopted in 2012, the National Standard Classification of Occupation (NASCO-08), an adapted version of the International Classification of Occupation of 2008 (ISCO 08). This replaces the national version based on ISCO 88. Statistics presented in this publication are based on NSIC Rev 2 and the NASCO-08.

 

The changes in the classification of the economic activities at the level of industrial groups are given below.

LABOUR FORCE, EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT

YEAR 2013 1. Introduction This chapter presents estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment for the Republic of Mauritius for years 2012 and 2013. Prior to 2004, mid-year estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment published were based on the latest Population Census or Labour Force Sample Survey, updated with data from surveys of establishments and information from various administrative sources. The estimates refer to population aged 12 years and over. As from 2004, the Continuous Multi-Purpose Household Survey (CMPHS) is used to measure labour force, employment and unemployment on a quarterly basis. This follows the recommendations of the 2003 World Bank study in Mauritius to have a regular labour force household survey to collect data on the labour market. With the amendment to the Labour Act in December 2007, whereby the minimum legal working age has been raised from 15 to 16 years, and the subsequent recommendation of ILO to be in line with the Act, the lower age cut-off point for the labour force is 16 years as from 2007. Quarterly and yearly estimates of Mauritian labour force, employment and unemployment from the results of the CMPHS are published in Economic and Social Indicators. As from the fourth quarter 2013, these estimates are published based on population figures revised according to the 2011 Population Census results. The use of the revised figures has impacted on the level of the labour force, employment, unemployment and inactive population which are directly related to the size of the population. Also changes in the age composition of the population have affected the different rates, namely activity and unemployment rates. 2. Definitions of terms used Definitions of labour force, employment and unemployment used are according to the ILO recommendations. Labour force Labour force or the active population is made up of employed and unemployed population. Employed population The employed population consists of Mauritians aged 16 years and above (16+) who have worked for pay, profit or family gain for at least one hour during the reference week of a month. It includes those who are temporarily absent from work for reasons such as leave with pay, leave without pay and temporary disorganisation of work (bad weather, break down of equipment, lack of order, etc.).

10

Unemployed population Unemployed population comprises all Mauritians aged 16+ who are not working but who are looking for work and are available for work during the reference period. Activity rate Activity rate is the ratio (%) of labour force to population aged 16+ (active and inactive population). Unemployment rate Unemployment rate is the ratio (%) of unemployment to Mauritian labour force. Inactive population Inactive population includes all Mauritians aged 16+, not forming part of the labour force for reasons such as attendance at educational institutions, engagement in household duties, retirement, old age and infirmity/disablement. It is to be noted that the same definitions are used for both methodologies mentioned in the introduction. 3. Estimation and reliability of results The Continuous Multi Purpose Household Survey covers a total of 11,280 private Mauritian households (10,560 in the Island of Mauritius and 720 in Rodrigues), spread over the whole year. The sampling method used is a stratified two-stage design which ensures representativeness of all regions and all households in the economy. Estimates worked out from household survey data are inevitably subject to sampling variability since they are based on information collected from only a sample of households rather than from all households. The Standard Error (S.E) which is a measure of this variability, can be used to set confidence intervals for any estimate (whether a total or a rate) derived from the sample. For example, a 95% confidence interval indicates that there is 95% chance that the upper and lower limits of the interval enclose the true value which would be obtained if all households had been surveyed. The main labour force estimates together with the standard errors and confidence intervals are shown in Table 1.1. The figures refer to the Mauritian population aged 16 years and over.

5. Sources of data The CMPHS supplies data for the Mauritian population while information on foreign workers is obtained from establishment surveys and administrative data sources. Employment in large establishments is estimated based on the results of the Survey of Employment and Earnings, quarterly Survey of Employment, Earnings and Hours of Work and quarterly Survey of Employment in Export Oriented Enterprises. 6. Year 2013 Estimates (including foreign workers) 6.1 Labour force The total labour force for year 2013 is estimated at 597,500 (366,900 males and 230,600 females) as compared to 580,300 (361,100 males and 219,200 females) for the year 2012. The number of foreign workers in 2013 stood at 26,300 (16,500 males and 9,800 females) compared to 24,000 (14,200 males and 9,800 females) in 2012 whilst the Mauritian labour force is estimated at 571,200 (350,400 males and 220,800 females) in 2013 as compared to 556,300 (346,900 males and 209,400 females) in 2012. The Mauritian labour force by age group and sex is shown in Table 1.2. Activity rate, defined as the proportion of the population aged 16 years and over, which is economically active, by age group and sex is given in Table 1.3. 6.2 Employment For year 2013, the total number of employed persons, including foreign workers, was estimated at 552,000 (348,300 males and 203,700 females) as compared to 535,700 (343,000 males and 192,700 females) in 2012. Table 1.4 shows the distribution of the employed population by industry group and sex. The number of persons employed in large establishments in 2013 stood at 312,500 (199,100 males and 113,400 females) as compared to 311,500 (198,300 males and 113,200 females) in 2012. Employment outside large establishments was estimated at 239,500 (149,200 males and 90,300 females) in 2013 as compared to 224,200 (144,700 males and 79,500 females) in 2012. Employment by size of establishment and industry group is given in Table 1.5. 6.3 Unemployment The number of unemployed persons for year 2013 was estimated at 45,500 (18,600 males and 26,900 females) as compared to 44,600 (18,100 males and 26,500 females) in 2012. The unemployment rate, defined as the percentage of the labour force that is unemployed, worked out to 8.0 %, same level as in 2012. However, male unemployment rate rose slightly from 5.2% to 5.3% while the female rate declined from 12.7% to 12.2%. The figures are presented in Table 1.6.

SURVEY OF EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS IN LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS MARCH 2013

1. INTRODUCTION

Every year, in March, Statistics Mauritius carries out a Survey of Employment and Earnings in ‘large’ establishments so as to obtain a continuous series of comparable data on the level of employment in these ‘large’ establishments. This chapter presents the results of the survey carried out in March 2013. Figures for previous years are also provided for analytical purposes.

For the purpose of the survey, employees are classified into one of the following four specific categories, according to type of pay:

(i) monthly (ii) daily (iii) piece rate (iv) hourly rate

2. COVERAGE

As in previous rounds, the 2013 survey covered only the following types of establishment: (a) Agricultural establishments comprising:

(i) sugar cane plantations of 10 hectares or more; (ii) tea plantations of 2 hectares or more; (iii) all 'flue-cured' tobacco establishments, irrespective of acreage; (iv) other agricultural establishments employing at least 10 persons during the reference

period (March 2013).

(b) Non-agricultural establishments employing at least 10 persons during the reference month. It is to be noted that ‘outworkers’ are excluded. Outworkers are piece-rate workers who, although remunerated by an establishment, work in their own homes on materials provided by the establishment.

(c) All central and local government departments.

3. DATA COLLECTION The questionnaires (published as an appendix to this report) were mailed to some 7,000 establishments with the request that they be completed and returned by 15 April 2013. Almost all establishments employing more than 100 persons (based on the previous survey), and who had not replied by the end of April 2013 were visited.

21

4. THE REPORTING UNIT The reporting unit was the establishment, defined for the purpose of the survey as an economic unit engaged in one, or predominantly one, kind of economic activity for which separate figures of employment could be supplied. 5. FRAME USED FOR THE SURVEY The frame used for the survey is the list of establishments which is continuously revised and updated on the basis of information received from various sources. The mailing list of around 7,000 establishments, which included 42 establishments in Rodrigues but excluded all government ministries and departments, was made up of: (a) all the 2,692 establishments which, at the preceding round of the survey in March 2012,

had been found to fall within the scope of the survey;

(b) 4,300 additional establishments which, according to available information, could fall within the scope of the survey.

6. THE REFERENCE PERIOD In Section I of the survey questionnaire, employers were asked to report on the total number of employees who were paid for the last Thursday of March 2013. This use of a specific date is necessary to avoid double counting, as employees may move from one establishment to another during any given period or may work for different employers on different days, as in the case of casual employees.

In Section II, employers had to report the number of employees on monthly rates of pay appearing on the payroll at the end of March 2013, and their corresponding earnings.

In Sections III and IV, employers were asked to state the number of employees who were on daily and piece rates of pay respectively. They were also requested to supply the earnings and the number of man-days paid to these employees during the last payroll period in March 2013.

In Section V, they were asked to report the number of employees who were exclusively on hourly rates of pay, their corresponding earnings and the number of man-hours paid during the last payroll in March 2013.

It should be noted that the number of employees on the different types of rates of pay (Tables 2.13 and 2.14) do not necessarily add up to the total number of employees reported in Tables 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 because they relate to periods and not to a specific date.

22

7. DEFINITIONS The term ‘employees’ covers all persons in regular or casual employment and includes:-

(a) persons temporarily absent on paid sick or vacation leave; and (b) persons holding managerial posts, family workers receiving wages or salaries,

Amounts reported include overtime, productivity bonuses, commissions, travelling allowances, attendance bonuses, housing and rent allowances and other regular cash payments before any deductions such as taxes, insurance and pension contributions paid by the employees. They exclude pension payments, family allowances and other similar special benefits paid by the employers. Also excluded are arrears payments made at the end of March in respect of previous pay periods. Primary sector comprises activities classified in the industrial groups:

(i) Agriculture, forestry and fishing

(ii) Mining and quarrying

23

8. RESPONSE Among the 2,692 establishments mentioned in Section 5(a), around 100 no longer fell within the scope of the survey either because they have ceased operation or their employment had shrunk to less than 10 or they have become dormant. As regards to the second category of establishments mentioned in Section 5(b), some 65 new establishments were found to fall within the scope of the survey.

For the March 2013 survey, out of the 2,657 establishments (excluding government ministries and departments) which are considered as large as per definition of the survey, 67% responded, representing about 82% of total employment in such establishments. However, overall response, including government ministries and departments, accounted for 79% of employment. 9. SUMMARY OF RESULTS The following analysis of employment relates only to ‘large’ establishments falling within the scope of the survey as defined above.

9.1 Employment Level, March 2012 – March 2013

Total employment in establishments covered by the survey was around 305,689 in March 2013 compared to 304,909 in March 2012, representing an increase of 780. Analysis by sex shows that male employment increased by about 800 from around 191,300 in 2012 to around 192,100 in 2013 while female employment remained almost the same, with a total of around 113,600 for both periods (Table 2.4).

The total employment figure includes some 4,200 persons working in large establishments in Rodrigues, compared to around 4,600 in March 2012. These were mainly government employees of Rodrigues Regional Assembly numbering around 2,500 in March 2013.

Foreign workers, who are also included in the total employment figure, numbered around 25,400 (16,100 males and 9,300 females) in March 2013, compared to around 23,500 (14,100 males and 9,400 females) in March 2012. These workers were mainly engaged in the manufacturing establishments (Table 2.32).

9.2 Employment by sector and industry

Between March 2012 and March 2013, employment in the primary and secondary sectors decreased by around 800 each. Employment in the tertiary sector, however, maintained an upward trend with an increase of about 2,400.

Analysis by industrial group (Table 2.4) shows that employment increased in the industry groups ‘Public administration and defence’ (900), ‘Financial and insurance activities’ (400), and ‘Professional, scientific and technical services’(400), but decreased in the Industrial groups ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’ (-900), and ‘Construction’ (-700).

24

9.3 Employment in the General Government Sector

The General Government sector comprises the Central Government, Regional Government and the Local Government. The Central Government covers ministries and departments, and agencies operating under the authority of the Central Government and responsible for the performance of specialised governmental functions. The Regional Government comprises the Regional Assembly of Rodrigues while the Local Government is made up of Municipalities and District Councils.

Employment in the General Government sector increased by about 400 from around 72,500 (47,000 males and 25,500 females) in March 2012 to around 72,900 (46,900 males and 26,000 females) in March 2013 (Table 2.10). Female employment increased by about 500 while employment for male decreased by about 100.

Increases in employment were noted in the industrial groups ‘Public administration and defence; compulsory social security’ (900), and ‘Education’ (200) while the main decrease occurred in the group ‘Human health and social work activities’ (-400).

9.4 Employment in the large establishments of the EOE sector

The number of persons employed in ‘large’ establishments in the EOE sector (Table 2.21) decreased by about 200, from around 54,300 in March 2012 to around 54,100 in March 2013. The decrease was due to the decrease in employment (-200) in the non-manufacturing sector. It should however be noted that during the same period, the number of mauritians employed decreased from around 36,100 to around 33,800 whereas the number of foreigners increased from around 18,200 to around 20,300.

The number of male employees increased by about 1,600 whereas the number of female employees decreased by about 1,800. Most of the job increases were noted in establishments engaged in the manufacture of wearing apparel (200) and food (200), while decreases occurred in establishments in the non-manufacturing sector (200) and those manufacturing watches and clocks, and jewellery (-100) each.

9.5 Earnings

The level of average earnings is influenced mainly by increases in basic salaries and wages. However, fluctuations may also occur because of:

(a) Changes in the mix of employees of various categories or with various lengths of

service. For example, a large intake of professionals by, say, an architectural firm can cause a sudden jump in the average monthly earnings. On the other hand, a large intake of employees at the lower end of the salary structure of an establishment has the effect of lowering the average earnings.

(b) Changes in overtime, regular bonuses and commissions.

25

9.5.1 Earnings in all large establishments

For the purpose of the survey, employees are classified into the following different categories according to type of pay: monthly, daily, piece and hourly rate. Table 2.15 presents the average earnings by industrial group for the years 2011 to 2013, where all rates have been converted to a monthly basis.

In March 2013, the highest average monthly earnings were registered in the industrial groups ‘Financial and insurance activities’ (Rs 40,380), followed by ‘Professional, scientific and technical activities’ (Rs 37,760) and ‘Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply’ (Rs 37,476). On the other hand, the lowest average monthly earnings occurred in the industrial groups ‘Administrative and support service activities’ (Rs 13,043) and ‘Manufacturing’ (Rs 13,745).

Overall average monthly earnings in large establishments increased by about 10% from Rs 21,103 in March 2012 to Rs 23,287 in March 2013. A general upward trend was observed in all industrial groups. The largest increases were noted in ‘Public administration and defence’ (+20%) and ‘Human health and social work activities’ (+19%), whilst the other sectors witnessed increases ranging from 1% to 16%.

9.5.2 Earnings in large establishments of the EOE sector

Earnings in the EOE sector have also been converted to monthly rate. The average monthly earnings in the overall EOE sector increased by about 8% from Rs 11,216 in March 2012 to Rs 12,163 in March 2013 (Table 2.24). The average monthly earnings in the manufacturing establishments in 2013 was Rs 11,669 compared to Rs 19,106 in non-manufacturing establishments. The corresponding figures for 2012 were Rs 10,749 and Rs 17,921 respectively.

10. SURVEY OF VACANCIES All establishments, except central and local government services, were also requested to supply information on unfilled vacancies as at the last Thursday of March 2013. A total of 2,488 vacancies (882 males, 253 females and 1,353 either males or females) were reported. It is to be noted that about 30% of these vacancies occurred in the occupational group ‘Service and sales workers’ followed by 14% in the groups ‘Technicians and associate professionals’ and ‘Elementary occupations’. Table 2.33 shows the vacancies classified by industrial group, occupation and sex.

Chapter 3

SURVEY OF EMPLOYMENT, EARNINGS AND HOURS OF WORK IN LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS

2013

1. INTRODUCTION

Prior to 1992, Statistics Mauritius, used to carry out a survey to collect data on wages, earnings and hours of work for the main occupations in the different industrial sectors of the country. The data collected were mainly intended for the International Labour Office (ILO) October Inquiry.

In 1992, the scope and coverage of the survey were extended to include a wider range

of occupations and industries. The establishments surveyed are also requested to report their number of employees and total earnings paid for the month of September.

The yearly September survey was discontinued in 2007, and replaced by quarterly

surveys conducted in March, June, September and December. This chapter gives the level of earnings, as well as wage rate indices, worked out for

the four quarters of year 2012 and 2013 using fourth quarter 2011 as base period. Prior to year 2012, published series were computed using third quarter of 2006 as base. A review of the weights was necessary to reflect changes in the industrial and occupational structure of the economy.

2. CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS 2.1 Wages

The term 'wages' covers all payments made to employees (including salaried employees), in connection with work done during normal hours. These payments comprise basic wages/salaries, cost of living allowances, other guaranteed and regularly paid allowances and bonuses at the end of each pay period. 2.2 Earnings

Earnings comprise all items of pay included in wages above, as well as overtime payment.

2.3 Normal hours of work

Normal hours of work refer to the hours of work laid down by the establishment, in excess of which any time worked is remunerated at overtime rates.

75

2.4 Overtime hours These comprise hours worked for which overtime premium is paid because the hours

are outside normal hours of work.

3. COVERAGE

3.1 Occupations

The survey covers a selection of occupations based on their numerical importance in

terms of employees, as at the 2011 Population Census.

3.2 Establishment

For the purpose of the survey, only ‘large’ establishments are considered. These

comprise sugar cane plantations of 10 hectares or more; tea plantations of 2 hectares or more; other agricultural and non-agricultural establishments having 10 or more employees as well as General Government services, i.e., ministries, government departments and agencies operating under them; municipalities; district councils and Rodrigues Regional Assembly.

3.3 Employee

Time-rated as well as piece-rated wage earners and salaried employees of both sexes

were covered. Employees such as apprentices, workers on probation, part-time workers and employees working on a temporary basis have been excluded.

4. SAMPLE DESIGN

The frame consists of a list of all ‘large’ establishments (about 2,700) as at March

2011. Establishments were stratified according to industry and arranged in order of size, i.e., the number of employees, within the industrial group. Within the strata, selection was proportional to size of establishment. A sample of about 10% was surveyed, representing some 250 establishments.

5. DATA COLLECTION

Questionnaires (published as an annex to this report) were mailed to the selected

establishments with the request that these be completed and returned within the time limit specified. Non-respondents were visited by officers to assist in the filling of the questionnaires.

76

6. WAGE RATE INDEX 6.1 Introduction

Wage rate index measures changes in the price of labour (i.e. changes over time in remuneration for the same job). The rate has been worked out from wages/salaries data for normal time work and comprise basic wages/salaries, salary compensation and other guaranteed and regularly paid allowances. Overtime payments are therefore excluded. 6.2 Methodology

6.2.1 Approach adopted

Ideally to show genuine changes in the price of labour, it would have been necessary for wages of specific individual workers at specific establishments to be measured over time. Since this is practically impossible, the next best approach has been adopted, that is, to follow changes in the wages of groups of employees performing the same jobs. This gives a measure of changes in wage rates of specific occupations.

6.2.2 Index calculation

The wage/salary rates of specific occupations, used in the calculation of the index, are the rates paid for normal time work, comprising basic wages and salaries, cost of living allowances and other guaranteed and regular allowances paid at the end of each pay period. Overtime payments are therefore excluded.

A Laspeyres type fixed base-weighted formula is used, where the occupational structure is held constant with reference to the base period of the index, i.e fourth quarter 2011. The changes in average wage rates are measured at the occupational level and the magnitude of these changes are then weighted to give a combined measure of the change for a given industrial group. The following formula is used

It = wi ( Ri

t / Rio ) X 100

wi

where It = index for quarter t compared to base period o

wi = NoiR

oi which represents the total wages paid to all employees in the i th

occupation in base period, fourth quarter 2011 Ri

o = wage rate of occupation i in base period, fourth quarter 2011 Ri

t = wage rate of occupation i in quarter t

The aggregate indices for industrial groups at higher level of classification or for all economic activities as a whole, are computed by taking a weighted average of the individual industrial group indices.

77

6.2.3 Weightings

Two sets of weights are used.

(i) The weights used for each occupation within a given industry group are based on the distribution of wages by occupation as obtained from the Population Census 2011 results.

(ii) The weights for each industry group are based on the distribution of earnings

by industry group as obtained from the Survey of Employment and Earnings carried out some 2,700 ‘large’ establishments in March 2011.

6.3 Limitations

The following limitations as regards the approach adopted are to be noted: (i) any changes in the mix of employees within the selected occupations is bound

to affect the calculated rates and hence the corresponding sectoral indices. Such changes can occur, for example, with a new intake of employees in a specific group - when the wages of the new recruits pull down the average wages for the whole group from one period to the next.

(ii) wage adjustments resulting from changes in the tasks associated with a

particular occupation, which cannot be separated from pure price changes.

(iii) it is difficult to separate the effects of productivity from the overall change. 7. WAGE RATE INDEX 2013 7.1 Wage rate index by quarter and industry groups

The overall index (Base: fourth quarter 2011=100) increased continuously over the

four quarters of 2013. Up by 7.5 points (+7.2%) in the 1st quarter, the index increased by 1.2 points (+1.1%) in the 2nd quarter. The index increased further in the third quarter by 3.7 points (+3.3% ) and in the fourth quarter by 0.4 point (+0.3%) to reach 117.3 in the 4th quarter 2013 (Table 3.6).

Analysis by industrial group shows a significant increase in the following industry groups: ‘Education’ (+18.9%), ‘Human health and social work activities’ (+12.9%), ‘Public administration and defence; compulsory social security’ (+12.4%), ‘Water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities’ (+12.2%), ‘Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles’ (+7.3%), in the 1st quarter. The 3rd quarter 2013 shows increases in ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’ (+28.0%) and ‘Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply’ (+18.1%).

Decreases were noted in some industry groups over the quarters, the main ones being in ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’(-13.9%) in the 1st quarter and (-2.4%) in the 4th quarter.

78

7.2 Overall wage rate index for 2013 The wage rate index for year 2013 worked out as the average of the quarterly indices, stood at 114.9, showing a 10.7% increase over year 2012 (Table 3.5).

The wage rate index for the General Government sector which comprises Ministries, Government departments and agencies operating under them, municipalities, district councils and Rodrigues Regional Assembly increased by 17.3% to reach 124.3 in 2013 from 106.0 in 2012. This rise is explained by salary revision in the Government sector. The General Government sector which accounts for around 32% of the total weight of the wage rate index contributed 5.8 index points to the increase of 11.1 index points in the overall index for 2013. 7.3 Comparison with previous indices

Table 3.8 presents the quarterly and yearly indices from 2007 to 2013. Indices for

years 2007 to 2011 have been worked out using third quarter 2006 as base. As from 2012, the base period used is fourth quarter 2011.

The series are not strictly comparable because of different base periods and weighting patterns. However, to enable comparison between the two series, chain link series with fourth quarter 2011 as base period has been worked out and is given in Table 3.9.

The conversion factor linking the indices with base period third quarter 2006 = 100 to the indices with base period fourth quarter 2011 = 100 is the reciprocal of 1.456.
